Intelligent communication: The future of EMF discourse and risk governance?

  • 1. Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, St. Mary's Campus, Imperial College London, London W2 1PG (United Kingdom)

Description

It is proposed that to help facilitate progress in electromagnetic field (EMF) risk governance and actively address potential concerns whilst encouraging environmentally-sound technical advancement, the ground rules of stakeholder participation / debate may benefit from being radically overhauled to encourage more openness, trust, understanding, transparency and innovation. It is further proposed that two-way communication should be actively promoted, as should proactive thinking and informed discussions of risk (which address realistically the concerns of all parties). The creation/development/adoption of enhanced best practice solutions and precautionary principle measures should also be encouraged.
